Alright so this week I decided to try something a little out there for the love life angle. Saw this thing online about weekly oracle pulls tailored to zodiac signs, specifically Virgo since that’s me. Skeptical? Yeah, totally. But hey, my dating life felt kinda… blah. Stuck in routines. Figured, why not? Worst case, I waste 15 minutes.
Grabbed My Cards and Just Did It
Got home Wednesday night after work. Felt tired, almost skipped it. But I pulled out my Rider-Waite deck – bought it ages ago, barely used it honestly. Cleared off the kitchen table. Lit this cheap candle I had lying around for ~ambiance~. Took three deep breaths, tried to quiet my brain down – tough for a Virgo, honestly, brain’s always buzzing.
Asked super simply: “What simple steps can I take THIS WEEK to boost my love life?” Felt kinda silly talking to my cards. Shuffled them a bunch, clumsy thumbs dropping a few. Kept going till one card basically jumped out.
The Card Flip – Uh, That’s Simple?
Flipped it over. The Six of Cups. Huh. Stared at it. Two kids sharing a cup. Old memories? Childhood? Nostalgia? My first thought was: “Seriously? How does remembering kindergarten help my dating??” Almost packed it in right there. Felt way too vague.
Chewing on the Meaning (Virgo Brain Activated)
Decided to at least give it a proper think. Pushed past the surface. “Cups” are emotions. “Six” is giving/receiving… kindness? Innocence? Playfulness? Maybe… reconnecting with simple joys? Bringing more of that feeling into my interactions? Not overanalyzing every date or text? Then it hit me – nostalgia. Not just wallowing in the past, but maybe reconnecting. People from my past?
Scribbled down two quick ideas in my notebook:
- Reach out to one old friend just for fun, no agenda.
- Plan an activity purely for JOY this week, not productivity.
Simple. Basic. Felt almost too dumb to count as “oracle advice,” but hey, I said I’d try.
The Actual Doing Part (Took Zero Effort)
Thursday morning, scrolling Instagram while eating toast. Saw a story from Sarah, a college friend I haven’t talked to in like a year. Usually, I’d think “Oh, cool” and keep scrolling. Remembered the card. Why not? Shot her a DM: “Heard that one song from freshman year today – instantly thought of that awful karaoke night lol. Hope you’re doing awesome!”
Planned the “joy” thing Friday. Usually my weekends are chores/workout/house stuff. Decided to blow off laundry. Instead, went to that art supply shop downtown and bought silly, overpriced markers. Sat in the park and just doodled dumb things in an old notebook. Smiled like an idiot. It felt dumb and great.
How It Actually Played Out
Simple steps, simple results. Sarah replied quick! We ended up having this hilarious chat thread spanning old memories and what’s new now. Felt genuinely warm. Zero pressure. Did it land me a date? Nope. But it brightened my mood significantly.
The doodling? Felt lighter afterward. Genuinely. Then Saturday, I met up with someone new for coffee. Didn’t overthink my outfit or plan conversation points. Remembered the feeling from doodling – just playful enjoyment. The chat flowed way easier. I laughed more, didn’t interview them. Still early days, but vibes were way better than my last few first meets. Less stiff Virgo, more human Virgo.
What It Boiled Down To
Forget grand gestures or complicated spells. The oracle basically told me to chill out and embrace simple, warm connections and personal joy. Doing those two tiny things reset my energy without me realizing it. When you feel good, genuinely lighter, it spills over. People feel that energy. My Virgo brain wants to complicate love into steps and plans. This week proved simple vibes matter most. Made me look at that “childish” card very differently. Universe says: Play more, connect warmly. Noted.
